About

I am a German photographer based in New York. I work primarily for European magazines and German movie production companies (film stills). My longterm project ‘MOKO JUMBIES: The Dancing Spirits of Trinidad’, a photo documentary about a stilt walking school, was shown at the international photo festival ‘Visa Pour L’Image’ 2004 in Perpignan and published as a book in New York the same year. I am a member of the German photo agency ‘laif’.

Flickr or not Flickr?

I would like to know if anybody has any experience with showing his or her work on Flickr or even MySpace. I just took the step and opened a Flickr account to promote a book and another series of images (a test so to speak), 500 people have viewed my work in 3 days and I really have not been very active promoting it yet, but I got on some groups that I found interesting. I did the same on MySpace, just promoting the book. That gets visitors, too, some of whom I rather did not have, but you just delete them with a click of your mouse. The nice thing about both sites is, if you have a book published or want to show a photo story on a specific topic, you can “target” your viewers by searching for the groups who are interested in the topic to begin with. If they like it, they might send it out to others. And there are many, many, many groups for just about anything. I just don’t know what it does to a photographer professionally to be present at these sites, but one thing is sure, with a little work the images will be seen by far more people then before, and is that not what most of us want ? This might just be an additional way to get your work out there.
I have written about it on my blog at http://stefanfalkephotography.blogspot.com/2007/05/flickr-and-myspace.html
the sites are http://www.flickr.com/photos/stefanfalke/
and http://www.myspace.com/stefanfalke
Please let me/us know if you post images at these sites and what your experience with it is…thanks, Stefan
